"The main issue was the shower [room 113] - it was a tiny cubicle and should be expanded to make a slightly larger walk in shower. Any larger person would have difficulty being comfortable in there [and I am not that large] - also, there was nowhere to put your soap and shampoo. Otherwise things were good, helpful staff, decent breakfast and so on."

"Very large place, with full refrigerator, stove and microwave - even has a washer and dryer. Heating is in the floor, so slow to adjust to the temperature you want, but calling the property management was helpful in trouble-shooting what we should do to get the place cooler (in September!). Walkable to the new old town section and right across the street from a Netto. Very handy location."
